After Action Report
The Trail Blazers rolled past the Mavericks 155-85. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Trail Blazers cashed in. The Trail Blazers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Mavericks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Trail Blazers locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Trail Blazers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Never a doubt in this one.
